Art Show Pictures

/in /by

Yesterday our Pre-K through 8th grade classes each had a chance to stop by the Art Show in the gym to admire some of the amazing works of art created by Saint James School students this year.  The works of art included pieces in the style of Wayne Thiebaud, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and contemporary illustrator Barbara Reid.  There were abstracts, animals, metal tooling, sculptures, self-portraits, paintings, and still life drawings crossing many different world cultures.

We were glad to see so many parents and students back at school last night for the Art Show and Ice Cream Social.  A special thank you to Highland Park Market for the ice cream treats.  Below are some pictures of the students as they checked out the Art Show yesterday morning.
